Unlike its counterparts, | Unlike its counterparts, the attack sends Wolf upward around 30 degrees, allowing it to act as a recovery from points below the stage. The trail Wolf leaves behind does negligible knockback and little damage. However, when there's an enemy at the spot where Wolf stops, the attack is electrified and deals considerable damage while stunning the enemy, launching the foe forward if they're hit in front of Wolf, or [[meteor smash|meteor smashed]] if they're hit by Wolf himself. | ||

*There is a variant of this strategy called semi-scarring, whereby the player uses Wolf Flash to propel Wolf toward a ledge, but holds down on the [[control stick]].
